Texas Gov. proposes selling the lotteryReply
This would make the majority of Megamillions states private in the near future.

Scandals in private run lotteries were the reason lotteries were banned in the 1800's. I'm sure Indian casinos would pay big bucks to shut down US lotteries should a scandal occur. Considering the money involved and the likelyhood of legislators restricting the business it seems

Hoosier Lottery Does It AgainReply
LOTTOMIKE:There is good reason why this hasn't happened yet. According to Indiana state law, a person who works for the lottery in any capacity is forbidden to divulge confidential lottery information.

However, it wasn't yet a scandal at this point, and would only become one after Losin

Are Lotteries RiggedReply
dear players,i have been following this thread for sometime now but can't help to think the following: the states wouldn't risk messing with the games simply because any current employee involved in a scandal of that nature is a potential whisle blower waiting to go off. most, if not all, of the corporate scandals we have seen in recent years have been brought to public attention by some former employee who was unhabby with their employer over something or another. if a lottery scandal of the
